PHYSIOLOGY 261 LATEST UPDATED 50+ EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
1. Individuals with Type I diabetes mellitus do not make enough
insulin. Which would be a mechanistic explanation of how insulin is
used by the body?: Insulin binds to its receptor which stimulates the movement of glucose
transporters to the cell membrane.
2. Place these terms in the typical sequence in the process of scientific
inquiry: experimental data, theory, model, observation, hypothesis,
replication.: observa- tion, hypothesis, experimental data, replication, model, theory
3. You are interested in learning more about Parkinson's disease, a
neurological disorder that mainly affects motor function. Which is
the best source to begin your investigation?: MedlinePlus
4. You have collected these data from 50 of your fellow students,
some of whom are sophomores and others juniors: the number of
process maps/flow charts each student created while studying for
the physiology exam and the score each student earned on the
exam. You predict that exam scores are higher for students who
created more maps/charts. What is the dependent variable?: The
exam score
5. In lipids, unsaturated refers to: the presence of double bonds between adjacent
carbon atoms in a fatty acid
6. Each amino acid differs from others in the: chemical structure of the R group
7. These are weak attractive forces that are responsible for the
surface tension of water.: hydrogen bonds
8. In a chemical reaction, between
atoms are broken as atoms are rearranged in new combinations to
form different chemical substances.: chemical bonds
9. Chemical reactions that occur in the human body proceed at a
faster rate due to special catalytic molecules called: enzymes
10. Protein specificity is the: ability of a protein to bind a certain ligand or a group
related ligands.
11. Cells regulate their level of activity by regulating the amount
of proteins in the cell at any given time, so an up-regulation of
enzymes would be expected to: increase the cell's response produced by the reaction
